Thanks for the info. Dr. Beever emailed some more information for me today. I do have one other question. If you are submitting for both TH and PHA do you use one form? If so what form?

: OT -
: 1) Previously tested animals - you do not
: need to submit more blood - contact the lab
: with the case numbers and the samples can be
: run for PHA
: 2) you need a purple top tube of blood from
: each animal you want tested - use a new
: needle for each animal (don't want to
: contaminate one sample with anothers DNA) -
: use the 10 ml tubes, you should try to get
: them filled, but half full should be OK (the
: "danger" with less blood is that
: you may not have enough cells with DNA to
: extract DNA and might have to redraw)
: 3) you can use the same sample for both
: tests
: 4) there is a form on the Maine web site
: that you can use to list your animals and
: what tests you want done; the address is
: also listed there
: 5) depending on where you are and what the
: weather is like will determine how you
: should send your samples - if you are near
: Illinois ground (2 day) should be OK; put a
: cold pack in with the samples. Send the
: samples on Monday or Tues of the week. If
: you are far away use 2nd day or next day
: 6) if this doesn't answer all your questions
: email me - I have a tendency to ramble! DL
